The online fax service offers several account-management features, including password protection, local and toll-free fax numbers, auto-resend and several ways to access support. The basic fax service lets you send as many as 100 fax pages and receive as many as 200 before overage fees of 10 cents per page kick in.

MyFax accommodates those who need a high level of security with SSL encryption and additional data-encryption methods. It works with any fax machine, so there's no need to worry about hardware compatibility. It provides delivery confirmation and allows you to schedule faxes to send.

If your sales force or support organization uses ACT customer management software, MyFax integrates seamlessly with the management software so everything customer related is handled by one application. Another feature that impressed us is the ability to use MyFax from handheld devices including the iPhone and BlackBerry mobile phones. MyFax converts paper faxes to standard TIF or PDF electronic documents.

Sending and receiving faxes through MyFax is as easy as sending an email with an attachment. The service converts the body of the email to a cover letter and the attachment is the body of the fax. Incoming faxes arrive as an email with an attachment.
